[02/15] DMM - Shining Butterfly (1st single)

[boinsie]

To be fair, LinLin, JunJun and Eri haven't joined either.

Lin Lin and Jun Jun live in China now so that would be hard. As for Eri, she still on the mend.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if Eri should go into DMM because she hasn't really done anything of importance outside of the MM umbrella while all of the other girls have their own followings (however small, but it adds up) outside of being in MM.

Maki + DMM。= awesome.

[Sohee]

Pssht. Eri is too good for DMM.

[resop2]

Maki + DMM。= awesome.

I think she would fit in really well.

Maki: Um, is it okay with you guys that I did all those racy magazine spreads?
Yuuko: Hey, I was in Playboy ...

[iceymoon]

i would be fine with this if only they had a different group name. ._.
maybe like Nostalgia Musume。 or Here We Go Again Musume。:hehe:

after all, it was the concept that Morning Musume would be an evolving group, whether OG "made" the group or whatever doesn't mean the name belongs to them any more than a company executive/founder who leaves the company and starts a new one.

i'm glad they're doing something new, but i don't have high hopes that it will be good. now that Mikitty isn't there, it's pretty certain i won't be paying attention to this group. x3 i feel like they're missing a center, someone who is the star.. Nacchi never did it for me and has become kind of bland, Gocchan isn't there, neither is Miki.. Yuuko doesn't quite fit the image, Mari is no longer in her prime, Rika can do it once in a while but doesn't have the talent to back it. nobody else is worthy. o-o they need someone like Ayaya, who retained her star quality over time. or Aichan, but i think she has other plans.

[Sohee]

I agree with that, that they're missing a center. Or, in my opinion a second center. Nacchi is the center after all, and together with Miki they were the two aces of DMM, with Rika, Mari and all next to them. But with Miki gone it's just Nacchi with a lot of followers (obviously not in a getting-lines-kind of way, but just ... generally) and that does make it boring.
I think that's my biggest problem with this group -- they're just awfully boring and predictable. X_x; And the name, obviously. And the fact that it's taken this fucking long for them to get something original, not counting the two lame songs on the album. Can't blame them for that, though.

[AyuHikaru]

I'm going to hope for the best and hope this single is great stuff, I want OG to do well (I love Kaori, Mari, Yuko, Yossi, Koharu, Makoto). I wish the name was different. Main M-line would have been a SWEET ass name.

[DARC1993]

Apparently this is the first and last single for them....?!.....
It should sell well.

Spoiler: show
